Generating New Skills

When to use this skill

• The user asks to "create a skill" or "make a skill".
• The user wants to standardize an existing set of instructions into a skill.
• The user provides a document and says "turn this into a skill".

Workflow

• Analyze the user's request to identify the skill name and purpose.
• Create the folder structure .agent/skills/[skill-name]/.
• Create the SKILL.md file with the standardized frontmatter and structure.
• (Optional) Create scripts/, examples/, or resources/ if necessary.

Instructions

1. Determine the Skill Name:

   • Must be a gerund (e.g., testing-code, managing-databases).
   • Lowercase, hyphens only. No "claude" or "anthropic".
   • Max 64 chars.

2. Determine the Description:

   • Third-person usage (e.g., "Extracts text from PDFs...").
   • Specific triggers.
   • Max 1024 chars.

3. Draft SKILL.md Content:

   • Conciseness: Focus on unique logic.
   • Progressive Disclosure: Keep under 500 lines; link to sub-files if needed.
   • Paths: Use forward slashes /.
   • Structure:
     • YAML Frontmatter
     • Title
     • "When to use this skill" (List of triggers)
     • "Workflow" (Checklist or steps)
     • "Instructions" (Specific logic, code, rules)
     • "Resources" (Links to scripts/examples)

4. Create Files:

   • Use write_to_file to create .agent/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md.
   • If the skill requires scripts, create them in .agent/skills/[skill-name]/scripts/.
